Vista - Reel Deal Slots

Hello,

I just recently bought a computer for my mom and I've been trying to get the
"Reel Deal" games to work on Windows Vista. It worked fine on Windows XP
(just slow because of graphics card and memory). Installing the games isn't
the problem, the problem is when I go to click on the icon to open the
program, it acts as if it will open the game, but instead, just return to the
windows' screen. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this
problem. It was be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Switch the icon setting for XP compatibility?

Or set it to "run as administrator". I have found this corrects a LOT of
errors.
